Economic success plays a huge role in society for this generation. Reproduction may contribute to the hindering of everyones economical status. While there are always risks, economic status and better care contribute highly to the success rate of In Vitro Fertilization. Therefore education on proper care for the body is important. The lack of knowledge in the younger generation on taking care of their body can affect infertility in the long run. In- Vitro Fertilization (IVF) may be an option for…

methods where experiments are performed in an artificial environment, such as a test tube. “Rather than hoping that an animal will respond like a human, in vitro research is conducted in an external, controlled environment, such as a test tube or a petri dish” (“Humane” n.p.). Cells from human donors are placed in test tubes, and the substance to be tested is put on them to test irritancy and see if any cells die in the process. If so, then the chemical is obviously unsafe. In vitro tests are…

You may notice your hand trembles when you pick up something, or maybe your loved one has pointed it out. Next, you notice walking is becoming more difficult as you feel off-balance. Before you know it, you are confined to a wheelchair because you can no longer stand on your own. In need of constant care, you are frustrated because you can no longer tell your body what to do. Parkinson’s disease affects more than 1.5 million Americans, and you could be next if we do not find a solution (Herold…

Despite the controversy surrounding stem cell research, the many benefits of stem cell research in the scientific and medical environments outweigh the negatives. Because of this, stem cell research is critical to the continued growth of science and medicine. Therefore, there should be increased funding for stem cell research and less restrictions in order for stem cells to reach their full potential. Stem cells offer people hope by promising to extend the number of patients who could benefit…

Lenses and vitreous body were removed from the embryos from day 6-20. The vitreous body and lens are then transferred to a petri dish where they would be separated by doing a careful disection. Dr. Mark Adeelman donated the rhodamine-123 for the study which was used a methanol stock. This stock was used for the fluorescent probes. In order to be able to examine the lens with the…

children’s health is reflected by many indicators, from birth weight to language acquisition to risks for both chronic illness and accidental injury” (Klass). Being at a higher risk for illness and injury means that when a child is exposed to the petri dish of germs that is a school, they will get sick often. This puts…

MORTEZA ABBASZADEGAN TA: LAUREN MCBURNETT LABORATORY #2 – BACTERIOLOGICAL EXAMINATION OF WATER: MOST PROBABLE NUMBER TEST AND MEMBRANE FILTRATION METHOD ABSTRACT: The most probable number (MPN) test and the membrane filter (MF) method have as goal to detect and estimate the presence of coliforms in a sample. Their importance in the field of environmental engineering is to support…

On Thursday, December 1st, I observed Mrs. Durish who teaches high school Biology at Clarion Area High School. Clarion Area High School is a public school located in Clarion, Pennsylvania. After being taken to Mrs. Durishs’ classroom, I immediately took notice of the classroom which was a standard biology lab. The black, nonporous lab tables were in five horizontal rows, the three back rows stretching almost the width of the room and the front two rows being split down the middle to act as a…

Cloning and Genetic Have you ever felt like you could be better than you are right now, or wondered why your not as good as other people on certain projects? Ever wondered why we have not found a cure to cancer or a cure to Aids? For me I have always imagined asking a genie in a bottle for different wishes, most for money and things I cannot afford. But I have also wished many a times for a better body, to be more gifted in athletic activities, and I would love to have different hair colors. I…
